The sauce is amazing! I used the sauce recipe with cilantro and lime marinaded chicken breast, sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, and squash and was awesome.

I double the green chiles, top with sliced green onion after broiling and serve with green cholula. Otherwise, this recipe is perfect. Can also substitute low carb tortillas if you want/need and you honestly can’t tell the difference so this recipe is also one of my (dirty) keto go-tos.

I use 7 oz of green chilies, add diced green onion after broiling and serve with the green cholula. Perfect.

I added garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce, as well as to the chicken. I also added a bit of cumin to the chicken. Additionally, I used corn tortillas instead of flour for the proper consistency. I made the meal as an enchilada casserole, as well, instead of individually rolled enchiladas-it makes for an easier way to make a larger meal.
